Question

2. Alonzo built a rectangular sign that measured 2 3/4 feet in length by 1 1/2 feet in width. a. What is the area of the sign?

Answer 1

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

$\begin{gathered} \text{Length = 2}\frac{3}{4} \\ \text{ = }\frac{11}{4} \\ \text{Breadth = 1}\frac{1}{2} \\ \text{ = }\frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \text{Area of a rectangle = }\frac{11}{4}\text{ x }\frac{3}{2} \\ \text{ = }\frac{33}{8} \\ \text{ = 4}\frac{1}{8}feet^2 \end{gathered}$
